pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3


I have been following a lot of posts here , but I have not read of any comparisons as of the 2 transports . I am on the fence about the 2 transports as it does not seem that there is to many choices in that price range. I can purchase both transports for about the same price . any body compare them yet or have any other thoughts . thanks

“I got the RS2 transport and wow it's fantastic”

Agree!😊 Its sound quality is the strength of this CD transport. I thought it would work in excellent fashion with your dCS Rossini and happy to know that this is the case. 

I know that there are some who have some concerns with its small package form and ergonomics (I understand that and nothing with suit everyone all of the time). However one will obtain superb sound (As you’ve discovered) for a price within reach for many. 

I. have had mine for a few weeks and it’s been very difficult to bring listening sessions to an end for the night. This transport allows a deep musical-emotionally involving experience. For me a splendid combination of a very organic presentation with exceptional resolution and nuanced clarity.

BTW I’m still using the included wall wart SMPS as I express my listening impressions. By all indications a linear power supply takes sound quality even further upward. I will soon find out 😊.

organic presentation is a good description.  Please do share your findings on the LPS, I will be trying one too but am going to enjoy the ride as it goes for now. 

 

@ejlif ,

With the stock wall wart SMPS the RS2T still  has a larger  (More authoritative dynamics and bass weight/impact) and  more open sound than my excellent P.S.Audio PWT which is 25 pounds and has an internal linear power supply.

Yet via unanimous owner feedback I'm told it sounds noticeably better with an external power supply in place of the wall wart. I have ordered the Fidelizer Nikola 2 LPS. I know this Pro-Ject transport feeding your Rossini DAC is heavenly 😊.
